1 Samuel 3:6-8

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁶ Once again the Lord called, ‘Samuel! ’

Samuel got up, went to Eli, and said, ‘Here I am; you called me.’

‘I didn’t call, my son,’ he replied. ‘Go back and lie down.’

⁷ Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, because the word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him. ⁸ Once again, for the third time, the Lord called Samuel. He got up, went to Eli, and said, ‘Here I am; you called me.’

Then Eli understood that the Lord was calling the boy.
